AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS


The Interstate Commission at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, May The Interstate Com
mission met here to-day. Judge Cooley, in
opening the proceedings. said: 1T may be well
to say at the outset that the scope of our author
lily in the premises is very much limited, and
that we do not purpose to go beyond it. Our In
vestigations are under the act, but they are not
for any purpose of questioning the propriety.
justice or sxpediency of that legislation. On the
other hand, all that has been settled for Us, and
are here simply for tho purpose of determin-
Ing the question whether, IN pursuance OF that
legislation, shall IN certain specified cases
which have been brought to our attention. make
exceptional orders which shall give relief IN
these cases from the ordinary operations CT the
law. That is all we purpose TO do and all we
have any authority to do"
The commission then heard large mum Der of
petitions for and renonstrauces against the en-
sorcement of Section Of rhe law. The citizens
Of Shreveport, La, presented petition, SAYING
that if the fourth section were enforced against
the Texas 81 Pacific railroad the busi-
ness of the city would be destroyed.
W. w. Finley, general freight agent OF the
Texas 81 Pacific. corroborated the statement OF
the petitioners. saying that the city depends al
most entirely on distant cities for its supplies;
Also that competition between the steamooas
lines of the Red river ana the railroad had
been very sharp, causing the railroad TO reduce
rates.
James Crandal. merchant of Shreveport,
sara: previous to the passage Oh tne inter-
state commerce bill, Shreveport was getting
cheap rates TO Kansas City. St. Louis and other
points in Kansas and Missouri; but since It's
passage rates nave advanced 100 per cent.
/. Hardy. assistant general freight agent of
the Queen e. Crescent line, stated that lmmedi-
ately on the passage of the bill rates of the An
cher steamboat line between St LOUIS and New
Orleans had been advanced one hundred per
cent, and bstween St. Louis and Nlcksburg fifty
per cent, aud that on suspension of Section
for a short time the rates had Immediately been
lowered.
Frederick Knowland. of New York, general
Eastern agent OF the Union Pacific road, present
ed the petItion of that road for suspension of
Section f. already sent in these dispatches.
The petition was granted IN the same form as
granted to other trauscontinental lines.
